The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is — not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him or say, to make him think things for himself.
George MacDonald
Image
As to the pure all things are pure, so the common mind sees far more vulgarity in others than the mind developed in genuine refinement.
